| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Working (copper_working) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Copper Working provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Iron Working (iron_working) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Iron Working provides one metallurgical context for slag and furnace waste, but this node still needs source checking for exact early reuse practices. |
|
| Early Alchemy & Material Science (early_alchemy_material_science) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Early Alchemy & Material Science is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. | No sources recorded. |
